After
breaking down the defense a few days ago, it's time to focus on the
high-scoring South Christian offense. This is a group with the
potential to do some very special things this season. The Sailors will
have an experienced group on offense in 2014 and that experience starts
at the quarterback position.
In
2014, most eyes will be on well known QB Jon Wassink. He is one of the
best signal callers in the entire state and has spent the last two
seasons putting up impressive numbers leading his team to the State
Finals. Last season, he put up 47 total touchdowns and over 3,900 total
yards leading South Christian to a 12-2 record.
Wassink
has been great, but he is always giving credit to his teammates and
what a group he has. Let's start with the wide receivers. Sam Heyboer
(6'5") and Eric VanVoorst (6'3") are huge targets in the passing game
(literally). In 2013, they combined for over 1,900 yards receiving and
19 touchdowns.
Running
back Geff Plasman kept opposing squads honest by picking up over 1,100
yards on the ground. He is no stranger to the endzone either as he
found pay-dirt 15 times last season.
Casey
Elzinga will be starting his 3rd season at center and he will anchor a
tough offensive line. With experience at several key positions, lookout
for South Christian right off the bat in week 1.
With
expectations high, it's nice to have hard working leaders like Wassink
and Elzinga making sure this team doesn't settle for anything less than
their best. Oh yeah, and they have a coach running this team by the
name of Mark Tamminga who I guarantee will make sure these boys are
tough all season long.
